Other Games That Feature Magneto While You Wait
Magneto is a playable character in several popular games. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is one of the most accessible as it’s available for modern platforms like the PS4 and is backwards compatible with the PS5. He is a popular choice among top-tier MvC3 players as he has powerful screen-filling moves and strong combo potential. “Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 shows its age visually, but is still as fun to play now as it was in 2011,” said our2016 PS4 reviewfor the game. “The single player modes are only entertaining for so long, but the real fun is playing against other people.”
He’s also available as a playable character in Nintendo and Team Ninja’s Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. It’s a top-down action RPG with a story rich in Marvel heroes and locales. Even Deadpool is in it alongside the likes of Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Star-Lord. Magneto can be unlocked by completing a boss wave mission in the second rift of the game. As you’d expect, he’s mighty in the game. Ourreview for Ultimate Alliance 3isn’t as strong, however. “Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is an acceptable, albeit dull game that’s only held together by the diverse Marvel universe,” the reviewer said. “It’s enjoyable when played cooperatively, but that’s an excuse that can be used for any title.”
